Crazy. We had a Belgian F-16 pilot vacation here in SW GA a couple of years ago . He took a glider up with some sort of glider “club”...bunches of em up there riding the thermals. He crashed right by our house. Walked away from it after we ran over to assist him.

Rather be lucky than good most days.

This guy isn't the first that's happened to. When I was flying in the Marine Corps they addressed that very scenario, getting hung up in power lines after an ejection. The overriding theme is don't let anyone touch you until the power is shut off. You're all right hanging there but the second you touch something grounded you're a crispy critter.
